Have you noticed your hair falling out more during certain times of the year? You're not alone, so don't worry! This is a natural process known as "seasonal shedding," in which hair loss peaks in certain seasons, usually in the spring and fall.

Our hair grows in cycles, which include:

• Anagen (growth phase)

• Catagen (transition phase)

• Telogen (resting/shedding phase)

During the telogen phase, it's normal for some hair to fall out as part of its natural shedding process. However, during seasonal shifts, more hairs tend to enter this phase. This results in a noticeable increase in shedding during certain times of the year.

The good news? It’s a completely normal process and usually isn’t a cause for concern.

While seasonal shedding is natural, there are steps you can take to support your scalp and hair health during these periods:

1. Use a Scalp Scrub : Incorporating a weekly scalp scrub into your hair care routine can help unclog hair follicles and reset sebum production, which can promote healthier hair growth.

2. Apply a Scalp Serum with Rosemary Oil : Rosemary oil is known for its ability to stimulate new hair growth. Adding a scalp serum containing this powerful ingredient can help combat excessive shedding and encourage regrowth.

3. Brush Your Hair Gently : Avoid harsh brushing or combing, which can lead to further hair breakage. Opt for gentle detangling, and use tools that are kind to your hair like wet brushes.

4. Switch to Scrunchies or Hair Clips : Hair bands can tug on your hair and cause unnecessary stress on the strands, potentially leading to breakage and added shedding. Scrunchies are a gentler alternative that can help reduce tension on your hair.

A Natural Process, but Stay Aware

Seasonal shedding is normal, but it's always a good idea to monitor your hair's health. If you notice more excessive hair loss than usual or other changes, consulting a professional can help ensure there aren’t underlying issues.
